Ok but do you ever consider the attitudes that have been taken about women joining the army for examples they are a frequent victims of sexual harrassment and most of the times they are not treated equally. besides, the women who join the army most of the times they act like men there is nothing feminisit about them I also read a statistic that like a large percentage of army women take homones to have the musceles and the harsh voices like men. So, if I as a woman would like to join the army according to the fact i won't be treated or regarded as a woman so where is the equality in this? and do you think that women have to kill to become equal with men? Do they need violance to state their right?

true, but i am not saying that women have to kill to be equal to men. i was saying that they get the right to chose something that was considered to be a mans job. now as for the sexual harrasment i now that it happens alot. it is a pitty that the men are so effected or threaten by women wanting to join the army. the fact that some women take hormone pills to be more like men i think is stupid. but if they think that taking those pills will make them accepted in the "mans world" then they have another thing coming. women should be judge by there skills not the way they live up to men.

Do they need violance to state their right?I've never heard of women trying to enhance themselves in the military, but I don't doubt some do it. I've known lots of women in the military and most of them were "normal" more or less. One was a mechanic. I did have one friend of mine tell me she had less trouble because of her race (half Spanish/half African) than her gender. Sexual harassment is always a problem here in the US but the military is taking some belated steps to curb this. My friend that was in the Army did a report on this and he tells me that the main reason women aren't deployed in combat roles in mainly because they can get pregnant. I thought it would have been more political like "we can't send our daughters into combat." But it's really more pragmatic apparently. He explained that if a woman in a combat zone were to be pregnant, the whole operation would be compromised when they had to have her removed from duty and transported out to a safe area. Not to mention they would be short one soldier!

inequality in the armed forces

not so fast everybody
I know in australia, and i would assume other 1st world nations, although women may join the armed forces. Not all women may apply for the same positions as men. There is still seperation in the armed forces, not so much as say 100 years ago but still inequality.

that is true. we still do not get the same positions as the men do but hopefully that will change in the future. it might not, but you can always hope it will.
